November has officially come to a close with only 3 books completed during the month.  I was going to hold off on this post since I was hoping to have a review up tonight, but I keep arguing with myself about it and it’s not going to be done tonight.  Oh well!

Books read in November are:

44. Resenting the Hero by Moira J. Moore (review)
45. The Habitation of the Blessed by Catherynne Valente (review forthcoming)
46. The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner (review forthcoming – if I can ever make up my mind about what I want to say about it)

Favorite book of the month: Eek, that’s a tough one.  I liked all of these quite a bit (this has actually been a great reading year for me other than not reading quite as many books as the past couple years – I’ve really liked the vast majority of what I’ve read).  It’s definitely either The Habitation of the Blessed or The King of Attolia, but I’m not sure which I liked better.  They’re very different books and I liked them both for very different reasons.  So for now it’s a tie.

I’m hoping to read 4 books in December to make it to 50 books, but I’m not sure if that will happen.  December is always my worst reading month because of being busy due to the holidays and I still need to read the rather lengthy Duma Key, which I promised a friend I’d read by the end of the year (we each picked 3 books for each other to read and this is the last one of them I haven’t read).  Next year I’m doing away with reading goals since I’ve been horrible at meeting my own – my case of book ADD is too severe, I’m afraid, especially if I have a crazy year like this one (moving twice in one year was really not in my plans – and I hope it never is ever again).

What did you read in November?
